Police did not say what the object in his pocket was, but acknowledged it was not a weapon.

Rumbie Mubaiwa posted a Facebook Live video in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

In it, a woman can be heard screaming in distress.

Rumbie explained,

OK, so the police did it again y'all -- they shot another unarmed black person as usual. The lady is saying she called them for help, not to kill her brother and they shot her brother.
She's saying she called the cops to come help her brother and they killed her brother. This shit has moved down to California. It's time to start some riots or some shit because they have lost their minds.
They said he pulled something out of his pocket and they shot him.

At one point, the victim's sister appears on camera.

She says,

You guys killed my brother in front of me.
Why couldn't you taser him? I told you he was sick.

Authorities say officers performed first aid on the scene and took the man to a nearby hospital, where he was ultimately pronounced dead, USA Today reports.
